Guest guest Posted November 29, 2000 Report Share Posted November 29, 2000 No bulls.......(Padayatra Italy, 1999) "Once padayatris were walking and dancing blissfully along the road in an Italian suburb, when suddenly two tough-looking police officers began yelling, "You are the cause of a traffic jam. Who gave you permission to do this? Where are your documents?" The devotees showed their documents, but one of the officers said, "One document is missing, where is the other one? Where is his document?" as he pointed to Srila Prabhupada's murti on the cart. A devotee tried to explain that, actually, Prabhupada was there and at the same time was not there. So the policeman went towards Prabhupada to ask for his document, but he did it by going between the cart and the oxen. At this point the faithful ox had a call of nature and let it fall on the ground right next to the exasperated policeman, spattering his pants. At this there was a few seconds of panic, but finally Garudatmika (the oxen caretaker) said, "Don't worry, it brings good luck." At this, the policeman surrendered and said, "All right, I really hope so," and burst into laughter. With no further harassment the padayatris continued. Srila Prabhupada's Padayatra, ki jaya."
